Arrienne's POV

I was talking to Ms. Carmen in a conference room. I had just handed her my resignation letter.

"Are you sure about this?" she asked while reading it.

I nodded.

"Okay. If this is really what you want, I'll inform Ma'am Remy so we can hire your replacement," she said.

I noticed the smile on her face. She looked happy that I was leaving. Well, lately, she didn’t seem to know how to treat me—whether as her staff or as the wife of her boss.

She often assigned tasks to Karen and Lucy i

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 76

    ARRIENNE’S POVThe door opened.Slowly.And the man standing behind it made my entire world stop.My father.Adrian.Alive.For years, I had believed he was dead.I had stood beside his coffin.I had watched them lower it into the ground.I had cried until there were no tears left.But now he was standing in front of me.Older.Thinner.His dark hair streaked with gray.A scar ran from his left temple down toward his jaw.But those eyes…Those were the same eyes I remembered from childhood.“Dad…”The word barely escaped my lips.He looked at me.For a moment, neither of us moved.Then his expression broke.“Arrienne.”My heart shattered.I took a step toward him.Jace immediately caught my wrist.“Don't.”I looked at him.His gun was still pointed at my father.“Jace…”“Something isn't right.”My father looked at him.A faint smile touched his lips.“So you're Jace.”Jace's expression hardened.“You know me.”“I've known about you for a very long time.”My father stepped into the roo

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 75

    JACE’S POVThe lights died.For three seconds, nobody moved.Then instinct took over.I grabbed Arrienne and pulled her behind me.“Stay behind me.”My other hand went for the gun beneath my jacket.Dominic jerked against his cuffs.“Jace—”“Quiet.”I scanned the darkness.Nothing.No footsteps.No movement.Just the faint hum of the security system.Then the speakers crackled again.That voice.Calm.Almost amused.“Still protecting her, Jace?”My blood ran cold.I knew that voice.Not from memory.From somewhere deeper.Somewhere I couldn't reach.“Who the hell are you?”A low chuckle echoed through the room.“You already know me.”“No,” I growled. “I don't.”“Oh, but you do.”Arrienne's fingers tightened around the back of my shirt.I could feel her trembling.And that alone nearly broke whatever control I had left.“Show yourself.”“Patience.”The lights suddenly flashed back on.I immediately raised my gun toward the speakers.Nothing.The interrogation room was exactly as it had

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 74

    JACE’S POVThe metal door slammed behind me, locking out the world—and locking Dominic in with me.He sat on the steel chair, wrists cuffed to the table, head hanging low. Blood dried in streaks down his cheek. His breathing was uneven, but his stare… his stare was steady when he finally raised his eyes.“You’re going to torture me, aren’t you?” he whispered.“No,” I answered, pulling another chair and sitting across from him.I let that sink in.Dominic swallowed, confused. “Then why am I here?”I leaned forward.“Because I don’t need to torture you to break you.”His jaw tightened.I placed Cal’s dog tag on the table.Dominic froze.His eyes widened—pain, guilt, disbelief all crushing him at once.“You were too late,” I said, voice low. “Cal is dead.”Dominic inhaled sharply, the air catching in his throat like shards of glass.He didn’t blink.He didn’t breathe.He just stared at the dog tag as if it could bring Cal back.“He was there,” Dominic whispered. “He—he tried to—”“He die

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 73

    ARRIENNE’S POVThe hallway still smelled of gunpowder and blood.Cal’s body lay on the floor, eyes half-open, as if he was still watching over Janna. Jace had already pulled me and the children into his arms, but I couldn’t stop staring at Cal’s face.The guilt drilled itself deeper into my chest.We trusted him.He protected us.He betrayed us.But then he saved our daughter with his last breath.How were we supposed to grieve a man who broke us and saved us in the same heartbeat?Janna sobbed into my chest, clutching my shirt. Her tiny hands trembled.“Mama… Uncle Cal is sleeping?”God.I swallowed hard, forcing steadiness into my voice.“No, son… he’s resting now. He saved you. He was very brave.”She cried harder. I held her tighter.My infant son woke with all the noise, crying softly. Jace picked him up, rocking him gently, trying to shieldour children from the surrounding darkness.But I saw it.The way Jace’s jaw tightened.The way his eyes kept flicking back to Cal’s still b

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 72

    ARRIENNE’S POVGunfire crackled through the corridors like lightning ripping through sky.I ran toward the sound—toward Jace—because every instinct in my body told me something was horribly wrong.“Stay inside!” I shouted to the medic who was tending to my infant son. I slammed the door shut and twisted the lock. “Don’t open for anyone except me or Jace!”Janna clung to my shirt earlier, but Cal had carried her to another room. Now I couldn't find either of them.I tried calling Cal on the radio, but the line was dead.Static.Dread settled in my gut.The deeper I ran, the quieter the halls felt, as if the very walls were holding their breath.Until—CLICK.I froze.That sound.A gun cocking.I spun toward the left hallway—And saw him.Cal.Holding Janna.His hand over her mouth.A gun pressed against her tiny head.I felt the world screech to a halt.“CAL!” I screamed.His expression didn’t change. Cold. Detached. As if the man who had protected us for years had never existed.“Don’

  • The New Boss Is My Husband   Chapter 71

    JACE’S POVNathan Vasquez.Standing less than ten meters away.Gun pointed at my wife.At my children.There were moments in a man’s life when instinct took over—pure, animalistic instinct. I felt it rise in my throat, in my pulse, in every muscle ready to tear him apart.“Move the family,” I said quietly to Cal. “Now.”Cal nodded, shifting his stance, preparing to grab Arrienne and the kids and jump into the armored vehicle behind us.Nathan smirked.“You won’t shoot, Jace.” His tone was maddeningly calm. “Because you know the moment you pull that trigger, my men will unload on your family.”“Your men are dying,” I hissed.“Yes,” he said with a shrug, “expendable ones. I still have the important pieces in place.”Pieces.My mind sharpened instantly.The mole.Someone was feeding him intel—someone close. Someone who knew our routes. Our timing.My jaw clenched as Nathan raised his gun slightly.“Step aside,” he said, “and I’ll let your wife walk out alive.”I aimed straight at his for

    Arrienne’s POV We arrived at the cabin just before dawn. The sky was a soft shade of gray, the trees standing still like silent sentinels. The cold air bit at my skin as I stepped out of the vehicle. Jace scanned the perimeter before giving me a nod. “Safe,” he murmured. I didn’t believe in that
